Ok so MP2 is all in. C/O would probably raise here with a 3 , or a 7 or over pair. only thing i put C/O on is 7,7 or a FD.

Its a tuff call because what do you put MP2 on at that point? a bigger 3? i mean, ur priced in to call MP2 anyways.

if you put C/O on a FD, ur best bet is to push and hope MP2 doesnt have much.

or

which i dont recommend, smooth call, and if the turn is a brick, try and extract chips from C/O.

I hate these situations. I've let go of trips many times.. it just takes a little discipline

Yeah, without CO its a call I'd say. With the flat call, I assumed a FD. So if that's the case I want to get the chips in now while he still may want to draw, correct?

EDIT - which is why I really don't like option two. I'm playing within my BR here (obv sad.gif) so ship em while I'm likely best? Maybe recoup some losses if MP2 has a better 3?

I'd rather a push than a call. He's screaming draw, and he'll probably think he's priced in, maybe don't have to go all in, but raise enough where its almost proper for him to call the bet on the turn that puts you all in.

I'd say a min-re-raise to price him in a bit more. I'm becoming a fan of a minraise more and more because people feel they have to call, and it prices them in on the turn.

I couldn't get away from this w/o a read. I also think that waiting for a blank to push at the C/O is just silly.

MP2 has pocket 9s or some trash like that and the CO has a similar hand, a flush draw or 7s full. Either way, I'd just push here.

Love your kicker btw!
